‘Goat’ Star Ben Schnetzer Exclusive StudioWrap Portraits (Photos)
The subject matter of “Goat” — a week of drunken college hazing and humiliation — is no laughing matter.
[...] star Ben Schnetzer says lot of funny things happened while he worked on the Paramount indie, which opens in theaters this weekend.
In the film, Schnetzer’s older brother is played by Nick Jonas, an established member of the frat who coaches his younger sibling through a barrage of booze and gross feats assigned to so-called “goat” pledges.

Directed by Andrew Neel, “Goat” also features young actors Gus Halper, Danny Flaherty and Jake Picking.
The very busy “127 Hours” actor showed up on set for one day to film his cameo as an older college alum paying a visit to his old frat.
In the film, he slaps Schnetzer’s character — something the young actor wasn’t expecting as it wasn’t in the script, he revealed to TheWrap.
Filmmakers rented out a local bar and invited nearby fraternity brothers to join their actors in a night of heavy drinking.
